Seventh Avenue South

I'm teaching English to mostly senior high students.
I like traveling, and especially I love New York.
Among other hobbies of mine are knitting and making knitting yarn with a spindle.
I also like playing the piano, and sometimes join
the blues sessions.
Suddenly I hit upon this idea of keeping a dairy in
English.
I wish I could continue this blog as long as possible.

Traveling always tells me a lot,but my trip on the weekend had something special to me.

Sometimes nature terrifies us human beings.

At Naoshima, however, nature and artificial work make a good harmony.

Which is true ? Maybe, both.

A friend of mine is now facing a lot of troublein Sendai.But he never loses his calm mind and generosity.He keeps a tender mind, really positive toward future.He himself doesn't have a child, butas soon as a store opened, he bought a lot of chocolate,which he delivered to the children around him.It's not a question of things, but a heart.Even if he manages to lead a life in his car,he doesn't forget about what comforts othersunder such terrible circumstances caused by the earthquake.

Human beings are weak, but at the same time, strong,I realized.

Also I've found again how important the bond between friends as well as between family members.

On the second day of my tripI looked at the whole city of Kobe,where a similar terrible earthquake took placeabout 16 years ago, from the ferry from Takamatsu.It has a vivid atmosphere now.

The people have made every effort to take backtheir city.It's infinite power of humans.

All that I have to do now isget back to my daily routine with a calm mind.In order to do that, on my way back to Nagoya,I dropped in at AVRIL in Kyoto.A great many kinds of yarn welcomed me.I almost forgot time in choosing which to buy.
